Today I received “touch base” emails from two admissions officers from different schools telling me, in essence, they were pulling for my son and saying they would call on Saturday. I take this as positive.
Anyone else receiving messages like this?
No, but did receive an email followed by a phone call from PA admissions telling us that DS2 would not be offered admissions. DS1 attends Andover and have heard here that this sort of “soft letdown” happens when siblings are not going to be admitted.
@GreenIndian - That sounds VERY positive. I don’t think they call new families directly with rejections. @BigBlueSwim - I"m so sorry to hear about the sibling admission news. Did that happen this year or was this an experience from a previous year. Whichever, I hope things work out great for DS2.
Happened just today. Thanks, but no need to be sorry as it was not in DS2 top three schools and was more of a hope of his parents to have both kids at the same school. Fingers crossed for Saturday.
Yes we had one reach out at the beginning of the week with positive news to share.
we heard from DD#2’s school for DD#3 yesterday. their official date is tomorrow too. Got in, not enough FA. But for some reason, the FA offers are all coming in close, despite having one more kid in tuition paying schools. Was kind of surprised at this school, since we have already had to beg them to offer us more money at least once. But negotiations will begin tomorrow.
